Topic: DANGER ZONE - Demo 1981 (Read 6647 times)

Hell awaits !!!Here is an old new maniac from germany !!!I am a MF and KD-fan since nearly 20 years and I want to ask something about the demostuff.Through the years I collected some bootlegs (and of course all official stuff !!!) of MERCYFUL FATE (and KING DIAMOND).One of my personal highlights is the original tape of "Curse Of The Pharaos" which includes some old demostuff which was not all released on "Return Of The Vampire".Some questions: Accoring to METAL ARCHIVES, the BRATS-demo from 1981 includes 9 tracks, but I know only the four cuts "Death Kiss", "Love Criminals", "Combat Zone" and "Some Day". Does anybody own the entire demo ??? It would be very interesting to me to listen the stuff for the very first time...!!!On "Return Of The Vampire" the track "Mission: Destroy Aliens" is actually a song recorded by a MF sideproject called DANGER ZONE. This demo includes 4 tracks (incl. "Persecution" and "Truck Driver", right ???), but the other tracks except "M.D.A." are only avialble on very band quality on some bootlegs like "House Of Satan" and "The Lost Tapes". Does anybody own the DANGER ZONE demo in very good quality ???Okay, questions, questions... Would be KILLER to get answer...!!!

Hi there.IÂ´m also a fan since Â´86.I have an old tape with the fatal portrait demo and 3 songs from dangerzone.I only have the title from one track called "another fallen angel".I have to listen to the other tracks again and the quality.will get back to you later,alright?!

I know I've got a Danger Zone demo, and a bunch of other old MF & KD demos, but it's been ages since I last looked at them or listened. I would have to dig them out of the archives, so it'll take me a bit, but I know for certain I've got a bunch of rare old stuff on tape.

I used to have this "Curse of the Pharoahs" tape/lp. It did indeed have a few more songs than "Vampire" release. This certainly wasn't an official release, so who did this? I've heard a few fans made this bootleg...

I canÂ´t tell you that much about the danger zone demo.IÂ´m listening to it right now.The sound is ok for a demo.Some noises here and there but quite enjoyable hearing it.By the way,who was the singer on this project?

The track "Mission: Destroy Aliens" was released on "Return Of The Vampire"-LP, featuring King Diamond on vocals !!! All other tracks are recorded in the same line up !!!The "Fatal Portrait" demo is just a roughmix of a few songs, later released on the official album.

...my mistake: The DANGER ZONE demo includes only 5 tracks, but the last BRATS demo, also with King Diamond on vocals, includes 9 tracks, but only 4 are known from HOUSE OF SATAN and CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS fan LP.
